Where did the summer go?

Exeter

My Pizza!! Thanks to Lucy's Recipe!

Hope everyone is having an awesome August! Mine was very nice, and unlike any other August, that's for sure! The last two weeks I had back to Back Flights, but I enjoyed all of them, and no complaints! London was nice, I got to do some shopping, and we had a really fun crew! We went out for some really expensive Thai food, which ended up being not big at all, and we all left hungry! So we went for some cheap thai a few hours later out of a box, and it was beautiful! We went to a few bars and had some drinks, and went to bed around midnight! Our wake up was nice, not till 11 or so, so we all got up and had an english breakfast together.. all you can eat for 5pounds.. mmmmm! The next day after I got home I flew to Dublin, I didn't get to experience much, just the airport for a few hours, but had time to get some postcards and some guiness chocolate and a key chain!! Then we took off to Exeter, England. We flew as Passengers on a european airline, and got some sleep! One little girl came back and tapped me on the shoulder and asked me where the bathroom was, she was probably thinking, why is our flight attendants sleeping on the plane!! Exeter was really beautiful, cute little old lady town! We went shopping for an hour or so, then went and had some Cream Tea's infront of our hotel, it was so yummy! We headed home early the next morning to Toronto. That was the night that we had the crazy lightning storm, so amazing. We sat on the deck, made a chocolate cake, and watched the storm, it was so insane, like nothing I have ever saw before! oh ya, and I can cook now :P.. Made Homemade Pizza, AND a chocolate cake!! Imagine that!! I had a day off after the storm, then went to Rome the next night with Angie my roomate, so that was really nice, our first time flying together! It was a long haul, we had a 8 hour flight to Venice, then got on another small plane to Rome, and got there around 6pm, walked to the coliseum and then had some italian supper, and we were so tired by the end we ended up getting a taxi back to the hotel, and slept for 14 hours!! Our flight home was long, almost 10 hours! Lots of complainers, but Italians are known for that I guess? The crew meals on the way home are beautiful.. I wish everywhere we flew we got fed like that!! We got home last night, and went right to bed, and today we have just been lazy all day! Rodney and Rebecca come tomorrow for a week, then Andrew comes on Wednesday! Im super excited for some visitors! Erinn was here this week with her Dad's Ball team! We went shopping at the Eaton Center.. (bought my first lululemon pants) woo hoo!! It was fun to be a tour guide in Toronto.. well Kinda!! Someone even asked me for directions at the subway, and I told them!! Felt so important!! Anyways, Life is good, I am in september mode now! My schedule is crazy, I go to Manchester, Tereceira, Portugal.. Lisbon, Porto, Portugal, London, Malaga, Spain!! Can't complain!! Hope all is well, and Irene didn't do too much damage :) xox

When in Rome

Roomies!

Home sweet Home

Where did August go?? Where did the summer go!! Flight attendants have warned me that time goes by fast working this sorta job, but holy cow! My week at home was really awesome! Its so nice to be home and not have any plans. Got to see everyone, and spend lots of time with ma! I now believe it when people say that PEI summer weather is the shits.. I got to experience it all too, rain everyday for a week! Well, except for the tractor pulls, firsr time ever without rain! I came back last week and then went to Rome the next day. Such an amazing city! We arrived around 2PM, I slept for an hour or so, then went out with another girl on my crew to walk around the city. It was so hot there too! We ended up losing each other, which wasnt fun, but we were both safe so it was okay! I went out for supper with two girls, and we experienced the real Italian setting. We sat outside, ate pasta & bread, and listened to a man play his accordion beside us.. aanndd, even had a rat run down the street under our feet! eek! We walked around until about midnight. The only thing I didn't see was the Coliseum, but I am going back next week, so I will get a look at it then! The flying part was a lot different then my normal flights. It was about 10 hours on the way home, so long! But the passengers were awesome, and no complaints, or turbulence! Twas great! I have been off for the past 3 days now, and today as well. I fly to London tomorrow evening. We have just been enjoying the weather really. We found a HUGE pool outside our house, about a 5 minute walk, on the beach. Its so nice, and free, so even better! Sophie's friends came down for a Blink 182 concert, and are spread out all over the house now! We don't have much room, but we managed, and it was fun! Our new apt is coming together! we pick up a few things here and there. We are in an awesome location, so close to everything. and me and the girls went out to eat the other night at this amazing Thai restaurant, and its so close to our house, and cheap! So we are finding new things all the time, but everything is so easy to get to! I have only used my car like once in the two weeks we have been here, just to pick some stuff up at Ikea.. which for those of you that dont know, is the best store on the planet! Anyways, my next two weeks will be busy. London till sunday, then I leave monday to go to Dublin/Exeter/Newcastle, then come home and have  day off, and Erinn is coming, then off to Rome again next weekend!! Then its almost September.. ahh!! enjoy the past two weeks of August y'all!! <3 xoxo

Another Vacation from my Vacation..

Roomies!!!<3<3 ---->


So.. I recently realized, that the life of a Flight attendant, is a constant vacation! Apart from the actual flying time, we are always on vacation.. which is about 80 hours a month.. and about half of the flight you could hardly call it work anyway!! Livin the dream! The last few weeks I spent a lot of time in England! I think I had about 5 flights to London, then my last one to Birmingham! That was a time. A girl in my class, Jessica, and I, had a 48 hour layover there, and it was such a nice change. Usually you get there, force yourself to stay awake, do fun things, go to bed, get up, fly home.. but this time we had another day, so we got to actually go out, sleep in,shop, eat and have fun! I am sore from laughing, it was so nice to fly together!! My schedule for August is looking pretty interesting! I have two flights to Rome, one to Hamburg, Germany, one to Heathrow, and another to Dublin/Exeter! I am actually on PEI for a week now though, which is really exciting, as always! We also just got some exciting news... The parents of Daytona, had 5 more puppies, so we are getting a new puppy in about a month, who will be Daytona's sister! so meant to be, and amazing! Me and Angie did a little road trip to Niagara falls last week.. it was so amazing! Didn't expect it to be like that at all! We had a lot of fun, lots of drinks, and left with some bed bug bites that left me with a few scars .. all it all it was a fun time tho!!...I moved into a new apartment in toronto. Me and Angie, and then another girl Sophie! Its so nice, its kind of like a condo building, it has a pool, gym, sauna, tennis courts, pool table. etc.. and then our place is on the 16th floor, and it overlooks toronto and Lake ontario. so we are right along the beach! Its really nice! Its only about 20 minute public transport ride away from down town, and the same distance to the airport so its perfect, and will definetly be more exciting than where we lived before! Looking forward to spending time there! We had a staff party the other night. It was a boat cruise, and it was a lot of fun! They had dinner and drinks and music and prizes (unreal prizes, that I didnt win) Like trips and everything! Here are a few pictures of the last little while.. enoy... xx
